If I am wrong, then correct me. That's what a discussion is about, right? Exchanging arguments to convince other people of your viewpoint or at least nuance theirs (and in turn having your own viewpoints adjusted by new information you get from others).

Post sufficiently good arguments, and I will change my stance. Just recently I did a 180 in the discussion about Mvgulik's wiki behavior because you backed up Bumfrog's claim with irrefutable arguments. Even if you don't convince me, others reading the thread may be convinced by your arguments. Either way, joining the discussion properly will provide everyone with more information so they will have a better-informed view of whatever was being discussed.
